Oliver and Oprah are opticians. They were far-sighted youngsters, who realised that looking after people’s eyesight would provide a useful occupation.

Spectacles and contact lenses are made to their prescriptions. People in the outer office provide dispensing and administrative back-up. Their opening hours may accommodate office workers among others.
